JAIL RATED SECOND IN FEDERAL SURVEY Jackson county's Jail rated second highest in the state in a survey of Oregon jails housing federal prisoners made by the federal bureau of prisons, ac cording to a news release from Washington, D. C. The local jail ranked second only to the Port land city jail, the report states, and 32 of the state's 39 jails were ranked as unfit for federal prisoners. Portland ranked but 57 per cent and Jackson county jail 55, and jails with ratings of under 50 per cent are "condemn ed" by the FBP as unfit for federal prisoners. Federal bureau of prisons In spectors rate jails on administra tion, discipline, building and equipment, personnel, food, medical service, hospital facili ties, cleanliness and sanitation, personal hygiene, rehabilitation, employment and industries and religious instruction. In addition, the inspector is required to an swer 10 pages of form questions and make a complete personal observation report on the jail. It was stated that some ot the inspections were made several years ago, but that no informa tion had been brought to the at tention of the FBP which would Indicate that a relnspecfion would change the rating of the jail. Local officials have no rec ord of the last inspection made of the county jail.

Thanks a mil lion." , FIREWOOD OFFERS Helsinki (U.R) There is no lack of fuel in Finland, but the prob lem is how to get firewood out of the forests and into the cities. For a period of 12 months starting Juno 1, Finland needs 62,000,000 cubic meters of wood, or about 9,000,000 more than during the same period last year. Of this amount 54 per cent will be reserved for use as firewood. Approximately 100,000 wood choppers must work continuous ly all 12 months in order to carry out the program but in June there were only 48,000 men in the forests. The Finnish government has promised extra food rations and other advantages to woodchop pers, but it fears a considerable deficit in the chopping program owing to the lack of manpower and unwillingness of the work ingmen to do hard work in the forests. Finland has only meager coal supplies, which are all reserved for key industries. Last "chop ping" year only 75 per cent of the wood needed was chopped, and 65 per cent transported to tha cities. This year there is not much hope of better results. There is no possibility of im- ! porting coal and the nation is I entirely dependent on its forests.
